Windows 7 Pro 32 bit MS Windows 10 upgrade will offer only 32 bit or choice of 32-bit or 64-bit?

I have Windows 7 Pro 32-bit my PC is 64 bit, can I switch to 10 64-bit Windows?

You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • My Windows 7 upgrade disk has only 32 bits. I want to install Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do?

    Upgrade to 64 - bit with this situation?
    A few years ago, I bought a PC which has Vista installed on it, but I was given a Windows 7 Upgrade disk to install Windows 7. I was able to create a clean install with upgrade disc. Recently, I discovered that my processor can support 64-bit, so I want to go to that. Problem is the upgrade disc contains the 32-bit version, even though I believe complete dics of Windows 7 contains both versions. It does not mean that I am eligible for the 64 bit version of Windows 7? It's terribly confusing.
    What are my options for installation of 64-bit? The 64-bit version can be downloaded or something? I even use the same product key?

    Will be the product key, I received with my job to drive upgrade with the 64-bit version, I downloaded?

  • SOLVED! -Bluetooth not found after Windows 7 upgrade process - U350 only or other institutions?

    Man, I am hoping somone will be able to point me in the right direction...

    Anyway, has received Windows 7 Upgrade disks in the mail and decided to install them today because I had little time. Chose to 'upgrade' to the previous version of Vista (don't hate me for not doing a custom installation, 'clean'), and everything seemed fine, until I realized that my Bluetooth is not working (or even found in Device Manager).

    Run the separate drive Lenovo sent with the Win7 upgrade disk and made me worry more because the installation of driver told me that he could not find a Bluetooth device (which confirmed the same as Device Manager). Tried to download the drivers manually on the internet without success.

    Someone at - it ideas? The only possible 'factor' would be that I usually leave the Bluetooth in Vista, and when I ran the upgrade, Bluetooth was off I would have thought that Win7 would have seen the device anyway (regardless of the situation).

    Thanks to all in advance!

    Really should try to do a Forum search next time (instead of just google)...

    The answer to this was the Fn + F5 to ACTIVATE the Bluetooth module FIRST, before the system would see the in-camera. Once you actually turn, drivers can be installed according to normal... Thank GOD!

    CONGRATULATIONS to all the pioneers who have actually found this in the first place. Hope this was able to help some lost soul who has the same problem a few hours (and installs / uninstalls useless).

  • Windows Anytime Upgrade will not go beyond the first screen. He tells me that my address is not valid, even if it is correct.

    I get my exact address, all fields of the form are 100% correct and it does not tell my that my address is not valid. I'm confused, because I have never had any problems to enter my own address, nor usually have problems try to give my money to people. I'll have to waste time on this is pretty insulting. Windows 7 has been well otherwise.

  • Windows 8 upgrade - product activation problem

    Hello

    I recently bought Windows 8 and went through the upgrade wizard activation process. My problem is I wanted to go on Windows XP 32 bit for Windows 8 64 but I realized too late (i.e. after I completed the installation of Windows 8) that I can't do and I found myself with 8 32-bit Windows installed on my computer.

    Now I formatted my C drive and installed a copy of Windows 7 ultimate (64-bit version) and was thinking through the again Upgrade Wizard to migrate to 64-bit Windows 8. But I have to pay for this upgrade or my previous product code will be valid? I do not need or want the 32 but the version that I have the ability to run 64-bit on my computer.

    If I have to pay for it, I think I can stay as well on Windows 7. Is there a solution to this?

    Simply make the upgrade to Windows 8 64-bit using your product existing key and reactivate by phone:

    You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Accidentally purchased Windows 7 Upgrade from Vista but they have XP

    I have Windows XP.

    I made a custom from the disc of Windows 7 Setup, but it is designed for Vista upgrade only. Bought by mistake off Newegg, my mistake.

    Product key is not accepted because Vista 7 has not been installed.

    Is there a way to get around this?

    I'm out of luck and will have to buy the full version?

    Thank you!

    As far as I know, there is no product that you are inferring that you have (a media/product Windows 7 upgrade key for Windows Vista upgrade system based only).  You need to simply (by design) perform a clean installation of Windows XP to Windows 7.

    see if this article helps to get your license activated:

  • Windows 7 upgrade of Windows 8 (license issue)

    I've updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8 using the upgrade package (download version). I would like to install the Windows 7 OS on another PC, that aloud?

    Thank you both for your quick responses. The Windows 7 operating system is a commercial version. Yes, as far as I understand. If I had to re - install the Windows at some point, I need the operating system Windows 7 first, before I can upgrade to Windows 8.

    Well, that depends, if you were to format the drive, Yes, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 first then repeat the upgrade to Windows 8.

    You can reinstall Windows 8 using the following method if:

    · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

    · Click settings

    · Click change PC settings

    · Click general in the left column

    · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

    Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

    It would also mean I could install the upgrade of Windows 8 on another machine if I wanted to and then just leave the other PC with operating system Windows 7 above.

    That is right.

    Reason being, is that my colleague does not fit on Windows 8 so maybe in the future I re - install Windows 7 on my PC of colleagues and use the upgrade of Windows 8 (hoping that I can not download this again since the MS Store) on my Lap Top that I would use.

    As long as the license of Windows 7 is re-installed, you are free to transfer the Windows 8 upgrade elsewhere. You can always reinstall it by returning to the reception of your e-mail when you made your purchase or:

    Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:

    https://www.mswos.com/

    You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

    Is also accepted, or is the upgrade license tied to the machine on which I originally upgraded Windows 8?

    No, as long as the license of Windows 8 is removed from the machine, you can transfer it to another machine.

    This downloader legacy has been mounted with problems and all installation guy made him was below standards. As Windows 8.0 is completely obsolete. Use the new installer and get 8.1 Windows media that works directly (both with Windows 8.0 and 8.1 product keys). See here for more details:
